    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    That's really sad. I think he was home bred by Jim Goldie and named after his grandsons, they will all be devastated.

    My old pet Licence To Till who was once a decent handicapper for Mark Johnston, sadly broke his leg at home in a freak accident this morning and had to be put to sleep.

    Bad enough that Neon Wolf is dead but from what I've just read the owners owned Balder Success. Talk about bad luck.

    Neon Wolf is a big loss to the game-would have been a monster on heavy ground.
